Vitamix 5200 Blender - My FAVORITE & Longest Lasting Appliance

Our Vitamix 5200 is the longest lasting appliance that we've ever owned. After using it twice a day for over 8 years, it has never had a problem and is still the workhorse blender that it was on day one.

I purchased my 5200 in 2009. I thought I was crazy for purchasing such an expensive machine but after having it for thirteen years with no problems, it was the best investment in a kitchen appliance that I made. The newer models out now are nice with pre-sets but they are a drag. I actually prefer the 5200 using the flip switches and speed dial for complete manual control of my blends. Great video thank you for posting.

Appreciate you showing the 48oz container. The 48oz is item 56085 for those interested. The 64oz doesn't fit under our cabinets, but the 48oz container is good for everyday use and fits.

[@user-vn7pi7ef3e]

Thank you

[@logank537]

Came to see if my 5200 was making the right sound when I turned it on. Six minutes in, you turn yours on but drown it out with generic background music. So darn helpful.

[@69hdavid]

I have had my 5000 for almost 30 years. Great investment.

[@dmwilson5285]

Yes. I can attest to the longevity. I had mine about 9 years. Only thing was socket just needed replacing - minor and normal. I wanted a smaller footprint with the pulse feature and preferred a legacy model (just a preference) so just replaced with a refurbished 5300. 💚💛🧡 Vitamix

[@ale347baker]

I have the pro 750. And I just bought a 5200 used for a family member. They both blend well, just the 750 is "cuter" with presets that i never use. I always use the variable speed. The end product is similar, difference is in price and looks.

[@Anamnesis]

It will be a truly sad day for America if Vitamix ever stops making the 5200 Legacy. Not counting on that ever happening but if it did, then did I'd have to buy one of the last ones off the production line even though I don't need one. I'd just keep it as a backup in storage, in the event my 20 year old 5200 were to somehow become unfixable. That machine is so tough, I'm convinced it will outlast ME. And it's just way easier and more straightforward to use than all their new models with programmed timers and digital gimmicks. The 5200 is the best investment you can make after real estate and a diversified stock portfolio. 😄

[@courierdog1941]

Your 5200 is practically new compared to our 1969, 2200. again it is virtually every day and has met the test of time and still working.

[@sweetness_5772]

You said it right. It does what it is suppose to do. That's the second important part.

[@zeilafrade233]

I wish this video would not have music when the actual blending is taking place so that one could hear the sound the blender makes.

[@eowenspa2]

I guess there’s a reason for that!

[@preciselyavri7944]

yep getting this one!!! thanks was tired of looking!

[@richardgray8593]

I like the simplicity of the controls on the 5200. I hate the electronic controls of the newer Vitamix models and of the Blendtecs. Just more unnecessary complexity and more stuff to break. I'm still using a 5100 that I bought in the last century.

[@MrGizmo211]

Well said - keep it simple and it just works

[@MrEcted]

I have gone through two Ninjas now and a couple super cheapies. Time to just bite the bullet and go for the full Vitamix, I really wish I would have just gotten it to begin with!

[@mykewuwusmith7118]

The 5300 is on sale right now for $249

[@water851]

Picked up the 32 oz today! Thanks for the vid.

[@lovely_sadist1237]

I’m just now starting to look into vitamix. So I’m doing lots of research to figure out which is best for my lifestyle. So far I came to the conclusion that I would like one that comes with the tall 64oz container, In stead of the low profile container for the fact that the tall 64oz could still make single serving amount. And have a much less minimum fill capacity than the low profile due to a much narrow base. But I still like the idea of being able to make a lot if wanted too. Now that I figure that out it’s the matter if I want a vitamix that comes with the added preset programs or not. Also. Again I’m new to this but your 5200 blender looks a lot like the e310 blender? Or is that just me?

[@BobMinelli]

In the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger.....Just DO it...Do it!

[@MrGizmo211]

Yes it is very similar to the e310. I think it is the replacement to it

[@msparamin3285]

Jeanette Simon the 5200, total Nutrition center is better than all the others, 1 bought mine in the year of 2000., it lasted for 21 years, I threw it away in October 2021, I bought the Vitamix 7500 cerries, it is not as strong as the 5200, I used it practically everyday. I heard the 7500 gives a lot of trouble, I will keep mine until it stops. Then after that I definitely get a 5200 Version again. It's very strong. Blessings

[@ale347baker]

@@msparamin3285 Why did you throw the 5200 away? Did it blend better than your current one?

[@msparamin3285]

@@ale347baker I couldn't find any one to fix the 5200 Vitamix, I bought a 7500 one, it's very good, I think it's like the 350 one,, the reason why it is so expensive, it comes with a recipe book, that many chef's put together, it has a large 64 ounces cup, so was the 5200 one, I did prefer the narrow cup. I will not switch the Vitamix for any others. Blessings

[@Nick-od9ln]

Can you post the link or a model number for the smaller container u used instead of the 64 oz one??

Whre is the original blender sound!?

[@garykarczewski6678]

I have had my 5200 for over 13 years. Wouldn't consider any newer model at all. I have heard more horror stories regarding the newer ones than the original legacy 5200.

[@user-hs6ty8xl1g]

hello. I want to ask the rpm of the high button of the 5200 model, does it correspond to the rpm of 10 speed of the e 310 model? because I hesitate between the two models. and the small 5-year warranty of the e 310 is it because of the low price? can the E 310 model work well with the jug of 5200? or is it not recommended?

[@AwesomeK285]

I just bought 5200 blender to blend green juice. The blender and the green juice turn quite warm when blended for about 1-2 min around speed 7. I don’t like hot liquid since this is plastic jar, disregard it said bpa free. I have enough liquid in there since it blends pretty smooth. Is that normal? Are all vitamix will turn hot?

[@HeavenlyInspirations]

You should always blend on high speed! Vitamixes are designed for that. It helps to keep the motor cool. You will burn out the motor faster blending on low speed.

[@realkitchenreviews2630]

Vitamix advises to blend on high speed for most situations. If you blend on high speed, you’ll need less time than blending on speed 7 which will not heat up your liquids as much. I’m putting together an in-depth review of the vitamix 5200 and it should be live this week.

[@msparamin3285]

Awesome Kid. I had a Vitamix 5200, it's better than all the others, it lasted 21 years. Now I have the 7500 version it's not as strong as the 5200. It's not BPA free, Market Place busted them up for faults advertisement , but I can't do with out one. Also the 7500 version is loud. You know what to buy now.

The low profile pitcher is 32oz.

Most of the tech is in the container. The "blending power" is not from the blades but rather the power of cavitation ripping things apart.

[@cosettapessa6417]

Yeah for real

[@Cujobob]

@@QuantumMind88 it’s 4 months later so I’m sure you know by now, but a smoothie in a vitamix pretty much always takes around 60 seconds total time to blend. It’s hard to really understand how loud something is without it being in your own home, but every high powered blender is loud - the vitamix is actually not as loud as most others on their highest setting (and it has a lot more power than others). Another video which I wouldn’t be able to find now showed a Binja blender and another all about 10 decibels louder than the vitamix. Still, all super loud.

[@Adeline9418]

There are vitamix knockoffs out there. I have one. Paid $70. Looks and performs exactly like a Vitamix. Even makes and heats soup. It wears out I'll buy another one. Can't do that with Vitamix.
